Hi again. Firstly 'Ice of Darkness' in relation to you last PM, I won't be changing Sasuke's name to a female version, if the constant use of 'Her and She' when referring to her don't make people realise that Sasuke is a girl in this fic, a name change won't really matter. Secondly if anyone has an idea for a fight or event Naruto could get involved in, let me know please. Right well, Non with the show.

Naruto fled as quickly as he could, whoever that green-clad ninja had been he was strong. Stronger then Naruto could safely face right now. His body still ached whatever he had done in the lab and that man had moved faster than the human eye could track.
"Right, I don't know who you are, but you just got yourself added to my shit list" Naruto muttered to himself as he travelled through the dense forests of Fire Country. "Where too? Where too? River country is closest. That sounds good. Somewhere to hide, recover and plan my next move." With River Country as his goal, Naruto increased his pace.
Naruto stopped on a small river bank about an hour later. He needed to wash the blood off and to rest. As he cleaned himself Naruto noticed how some of the rocks in along the bank caused the water to swirl as it flowed around them.
"Whirlpool." He exclaimed. "They talked about how the Uzumaki came from Whirlpool. That means my parents would have come from there. I could have relatives living there. They might hide me. Shit, which way is Whirlpool... East, it's off the east coast. Great! I got to backtrack past Konoha."

It took Naruto nearly a week to reach the eastern coast of Fire Country. Along the way he had stolen some new clothing and some meagre supplies as well. He had gotten lucky when some idiotic highwaymen had tried to rob him one evening. While their clothing was too large and they lacked any food on their person. Each had been carrying about 5,000 Ryo. That should be enough to get a boat out to Whirlpool.
As Naruto entered the small port town he smiled. It was the first time he had been happy in a long time. Soon he would have a family, people who would care for him and treat him like a person and not something they were forced to deal with. He approached one of the smaller ships and asked for the captain.
"What?" Snapped the large, bald man.
"I need a ride out to Whirlpool" Naruto replied, struggling to keep the smile off his face.
"Whirlpool? Little young to be grave robbing, aren't you?" The man asked.
"Grave robbing? What are you talking about? My parent's is family out there." Naruto said as a cold fear slowly spread through him.
"Family, no one has family out there. Whirlpool has been a barren wasteland for nearly two decades." The captain told Naruto. "During the war, Kiri attacked. They wiped everything out. Slaughtered everyone not on the island. If your parents had had relations on Whirlpool, then I'm sorry but they're gone."
"Why? Why did Kiri attack?" Naruto asked, tears flowing down his cheeks. "What happened?"
"Kiri wanted control of the sea." The Captain explained. "Kiri and Uzushio had been locked in a power struggle to see who would dominate the waters around these parts. When Uzushio turned its attention towards the mainland and aiding their allies, Konoha, Kiri attacked. The Mizukage oversaw the attack personally. He said something about Uzushio's difficulty being their opportunity. Look kid, I'm sorry about your loss."
Naruto was numb. His hope of a family, his only chance of being loved and cared for and safe was gone. He'd make them pay. Konoha could wait. Kiri would burn. He would kill every living thing within its walls. He'd hunt down anyone who escaped and would kill them, kill their families, he'd even kill their neighbors. Like they had wiped out Whirlpool because of their rivalry with Uzushio, he would slaughter every single one of them. He'd make Itachi's slaying of the Uchiha look like nothing. They would pay.

It had taken Naruto the rest of the day before he found a ship that was heading to Water Country, it seemed that the attacks on Bloodline clans were getting worse. Many ships travelling to or from Water country were being stopped and searched. This meant that few were willing to set sail to Water Country for fear of harassment. Passage had cost him all the money he had taken from the highwaymen. He didn't care, all he wanted was to get there and start killing. The trip took about a day and a half. Before the ship had even finished docking Naruto had left it, using his cloaking devise to remain hidden. The port-town he ended up in had a small garrison of militia overseen by a squad of chunin.
"Well, I know my first stop." Naruto muttered before setting off to the local barracks. Terror tactics were something Naruto enjoyed. He was also very good at them and could easily whip the militia into a panic, the ninja would be make things more difficult unless he dealt with them first.
The first one died quickly. Naruto had found him on the docks having a smoke break away from everyone else, how considerate of him. Wrist-blades to the back of the head and it was over. Naruto hid the body and set out hunting for the others.
The next one he found in one of the town's several bordellos. Naruto spent several minutes circling the building before returning to the entrance and rereading the sign.
"Bordello, interesting. My first encounter with anything to do with sex and it's like this, balls!" Naruto muttered. He snuck in and followed the ninja into one of the back rooms. He positioned himself in a dark corner and waited, while facing the wall. Soon he heard groaning and realised they had started. Bracing himself, Naruto turned and made his way to the bed. The man was on top and facing away from Naruto, making it easier to strike. Naruto drove his wrist-blades into the man's back and through his heart. The blades had burst out of his chest, spraying the woman with blood. She stared at the now dead man before taking in a deep breath to scream. Naruto's free hand shot out and closed around her small neck and clamped shut. It took nearly two minutes before she stopped struggling and Naruto waited another minute just to be sure.
"Bad luck that he chose you." Naruto offered by way of apology to the now dead prostitute. Naruto wrapped the body and dumped it out the window into a small back alley. Naruto stashed the body with the first before setting off to find the remaining ninja in the town.
As luck would have it, he found both at the militia barracks discussing prices the local merchants were offering for special treatment. Naruto stabbed one in the throat while using his collapsible spear to impale the other. He quickly, if awkwardly, took them back to the others and started his preparations.

There was panic on the streets. Someone or something had set fire to the militia barricks and was now attacking random people in the streets. Smaller fires had begun to spring up all over town as well. The entire port was ablaze, the smoke and ash being carried on the sea breeze inland making it even harder for people to see where they were going.
"What is it?"
"Help, help."
"Get out of the way."
"Mommy" That one was from a little girl who had become separated from her parents. Not knowing what else to do she ran to the barracks, like she had always been told to do if she got lost. When she got there she let out an ear piercing scream when she spotted the skinless bodies hanging from the main gates and the surrounding towers.

Ameyuri Ringo surveyed the damage done to Kamakura port. Over one hundred dead, most trampled by the crowd or burned by the fires. However it was the ones that had been cut down that interested her. All members of the local Militia force. No civilians actually attacked. The bodies found near the barracks still had to be identified but she could guess who the four found hanging from the gate were.
"Ameyuri, Ma'am? I've got the preliminary report on the bodies." Raiga Kurosuki called as he jogged over to her.
"Report." was her sharp reply. The smell of burnt flesh was reminding her of the crispy bacon she had for breakfast, it made her feel ill.
"Right. Most died from impalement." He informed her. "Either with a long, sharp spike of some kind or some kind of two bladed gauntlet."
"Two bladed gauntlet? She interrupted.
"Yeah, the spacing between the wounds seemed to indicate it. The head, throat or heart seemed to be the target in each case. A few died from snapped necks or strangulation. The bodies were then skinned and hanged out like caresses to drain. Damn, thit is fucked up. I mean not even the Kaguya did shit like this" Raiga said looking around the burnt-out ruins of the militia barricks.
"Anything else" Ameyuri snapped at her distracted apprentice. The smell was horrible.
"Oh, yeah. The four bodies hanging from the gate, well, carved into the forehead of each was a small spiral. Some of the others said it looks a bit like the symbol that use to be found Uzushio's headbands. It's gotten some of the locals spooked. Hahaha, dumb country fools." Raiga laughed. "Oh, some corpse turned up in one of the local Whore-houses. It was splattered with Kisuke's blood."
"Kisuke? Are you sure?" Ameyuri asked, forcing herself to remain calm.
"Well, the pimp said he was her last customer before the body showed up. He's missing and more than likely in the tent back there waiting for the mortician to identify him, so call it an educated guess." He answered.
"Educated, ha. I doubt you even know how to spell the word." Ameyuri replied as she began to walk down the main street. "I'll find out what the search parties found out. You stay here and wait for the identification process to finish. Question the militia captains while you wait."
"Bitch." Kaiga muttered as he walked toward the tent in which the captains were gathered.

Right, this is the last chapter I'm gonna upload that will have less than 5,000 words in it. However that will mean that it'll be longer before I actually upload. Well, here is Naruto's first attack against the people that destroyed his clan. At the moment he has no idea who his parents actually where. He just heard some of the scientists mentioning the Uzumaki clan and thought "they have the same surname as me, they must be my family". I removed the chapter "Outline One" as I've decided to change the course of events and it didn't match up anymore. If you see anywhere I messed up with grammar or spelling, let me know and I'll fix it. Leave a review or send a Private Message if you have any ideas for fights or meetings I could include. Oh, one final thing. If anyone could send me a link for a decent picture of the Predalien from the 2010 AvP game I'd be really grateful. Thanks for reading and bye for now.
